Oh, yes, indeed, it is true.

Commitment
by Hth
part 6 of Alpha Centauri
summary: John Sheppard does not have a problem with commitment. Really! No, really!
14,450 words. Really! No, really!

SPOILERS for "Epiphany" (I probably should've waited a week til the US air date of this episode to post, but to quote a great philosopher -- historically, not a strength for me.)

Bliss...

Love this, love you! I can't even say how happy I was to see this today. There are too many things I adored with but this part is my favorite:

“This is nothing,” he said. “This is just bones. It’s the other part that lasts forever. I love you from that part of me. But I can’t stay.”

Beautiful, amazing with just enough bitter sweetness to really make it twist my heart in the best kinds of ways. I was seriously pissed at John for a while for busting up the fun, but I am in a forgiving mood now (OMG he has some serious issues) and his setting up a date for Rodney and Ronon was so lovely and right for him to do. Will we get to see what happened in Rodney's room that night?

His talk with Teyla (how I love how you write her) was wrenching. For the first time, I truly felt sympathy for John and how his life has been. I think he was seeing his father in his own actions and that it was wrong to make Rodney choose between two people he loves. The part about not being able to make it right but doing his best for them anyway just killed me.

Many thanks for posting this, you have made my weekend and I am in a state of bliss right now hoping my boys are finally heading towards happiness. Sigh...
